Wei Zhao separated from Lilia and the others halfway, and he did not return to Xuantian Sect with them.
As for why, of course it was because of his deal with Lilia.
He wanted to find the conch pearl as soon as possible and then use it to exchange for Lilia's Nine Heavens Mysterious Iron.
The reason why he separated from Lilia and the others halfway, besides because it was convenient for them, was also because he was afraid of meeting Elder Wen.
Now that he was leaving, he naturally didn't have to worry about this problem. Maybe Elder Wen would even think that he had followed Grand Elder Qin and the others back to Xuantian Sect.
In fact, Wei Zhao was not sure whether Mr. Wen would come to cause trouble for him, but no matter what, he still had to take precautions.
As for the 10,000-year-old Changchun grass he got in the secret realm, he was not in a hurry to give it back to his master, Elder Li Taishang, because his master was still in retreat and could not be disturbed, so he could only wait until his master came out of retreat before giving it to him.
"Sixth Elder, aren't you going back to the sect with us?" Sect Leader Xiao asked casually when he saw Wei Zhao said he was leaving.
As the head of the sect, he usually stays in the sect to take charge. If Wei Zhao had not sent him a message this time, saying that he had discovered a secret realm of a great Mahayana master, he would not have left the sect.
Since he became the head of the sect, he has rarely gone out for training and has mostly stayed in the sect.
But there is no other way. Since he has assumed the position of the head sect leader, he must fulfill his responsibilities and protect the Xuantian Sect.
Wei Zhao shook his head and said, "I'm going to the South China Sea."
Conchs can be found wherever there is sea, and the South China Sea is relatively close, so Wei Zhao chose to go to the South China Sea.
"Sixth Brother, what are you going to the South China Sea for?" The Fifth Elder felt a little strange when he heard him say that he was going to the South China Sea.
After all, why would he go to that kind of place if he had nothing to do?
Apart from some islands, the South China Sea is just sea water. The people living there make a living by fishing. The conditions are harsh, so few monks like to go there.
"I'm going to look for conch pearls." Wei Zhao did not hide anything and told the reason why he was going to the South China Sea.
Although conch pearls are rare, only female cultivators like them. The fifth elder thought that he wanted to find one to give to a female cultivator. After all, Wei Zhao was famous for being a playboy and had caused countless romantic debts in the world of cultivation. So he joked, "Which female cultivator is he trying to please?"
When hearing this, others couldn't help but look sideways at Wei Zhao.
Even the Grand Elder Qin, who had always been indifferent to worldly affairs, had heard of some of the Eighth Elder's deeds.
Only Ling Xiao, after hearing the words of the fifth elder, immediately reached out and covered Lilia's ears to prevent her from hearing these words and lest the child's pure heart be polluted.
Lilia, whose ears were suddenly covered, looked up at Ling Xiao in confusion and asked, "Uncle Ling Xiao, why did you cover Lilia's ears?"
Ling Xiao explained to her: "These words are not suitable for children to hear."
Although Lilia didn't know why these words were not suitable for her to hear, she still nodded obediently, "Okay."
Since Uncle Ling Xiao said it was not suitable for children to listen to, Lilia would not listen.
"Brother Jiang, am I so unreasonable in your heart? I am just doing serious business." When Wei Zhao heard that the Fifth Elder had misunderstood him, he quickly cleared his name.
As God is witnessing, Wei Zhao just liked beautiful women, but although he was romantic, he was not vulgar. Moreover, he did not force those female cultivators; they did it voluntarily.
He didn't want Grand Elder Qin and Lilia to misunderstand him and think that he was a lustful person.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhao felt more and more that he was not wrong. After all, everyone has a love for beauty.
If you want to blame someone, just blame his excessive charm, which has attracted the admiration of many beautiful female cultivators, who are willing to compete for his favor.
"Aren't you going to look for the conch pearl? This is called doing business." Even Sect Leader Xiao didn't believe that Wei Zhao was going to do business.
Conch pearls are hard to find. If you are lucky, you can find them in the bodies of a few conchs. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to find one even if you stay in the South China Sea for several years.
Who would waste time looking for conch pearls if they have nothing better to do?
"Master, I really am here to do some serious business this time. If you don't believe me, ask Lilia."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Lilia.
I don’t know why Wei Zhao asked them to ask Lilia. Could it be that his trip to the South China Sea to look for conch pearls has something to do with Lilia?
Lilia saw that everyone was looking at her and asked in surprise: "Why are you all looking at Lilia?"
Ling Xiao covered her ears, so she naturally didn't know what they had just said.
Sect Leader Xiao asked, "Lilia, the Eighth Elder said he was going to the South China Sea to look for conch pearls. Do you know why?"
Ling Xiao had already let go of the hands that were covering Lilia's ears, so now she could hear what Master Xiao said.
Lilia nodded and replied, "I know. The Eighth Elder made a deal with Lilia. He went to the South China Sea to find conch pearls for Lilia."
As soon as Lilia finished speaking, Wei Zhao said to the Fifth Elder: "Well, Senior Brother Jiang, you heard it, right? I didn't go looking for the conch pearl to please any female cultivator."
Wei Zhao felt that even if he wanted to please the female cultivator, he would not go looking for conch pearls. After all, conch pearls were hard to find, and he might as well practice more if he had that free time.
When Ling Xiao heard Lilia say that she had a deal with Wei Zhao, he asked curiously, "What kind of deal did Lilia have with the Eighth Elder? Why would the Eighth Elder be willing to go to the South China Sea to find conch pearls for you?"
Lilia would not hide it from Ling Xiao, and she didn't think it was a secret that could not be told.
"The Eighth Elder wanted to buy the Nine Heavens Mysterious Iron from Lilia, but the Eighth Elder didn't have enough spirit stones, so he went to find conch pearls to exchange with Lilia."
After listening to Lilia's words, even the Grand Elder Qin looked at Wei Zhao with a condemning look.
The Fifth Elder even covered his chest and pointed at the Eighth Elder angrily, cursing, "Old Eighth Elder, you are going too far. Aren't you bullying Lilia because she is young and ignorant? The Nine Heavens Mysterious Iron is not comparable to a mere conch pearl!"
The Fifth Elder is a weapon refiner, and a high-level one at that. He is well aware of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Iron. It is precisely because of this understanding that he is more aware of its value.
In his opinion, Wei Zhao was deceiving Lilia because she was young and knew nothing, and wanted to exchange her Nine Heavens Mysterious Iron for a conch pearl.
Although conch pearls are precious, they are far from being able to be exchanged for Nine Heavens Mysterious Iron. The two cannot be compared at all.
He didn't expect that the Eighth Elder would do such a thing, so he was so angry.
In his opinion, although the Eighth Elder was a little off, he never expected that he could actually deceive the ignorant little beast.
